What skills and experience we're looking for

We are seeking an enthusiastic, creative and resilient Teacher of Art to join our dedicated team on a 0.6 FTE (three days per week) basis. This is an exciting opportunity for a passionate practitioner to deliver Art across both the primary and secondary phases, inspiring pupils through engaging and meaningful creative experiences that support both academic success and personal development.
